Many people have had problems with the digital display of this unit (see reviews). Have they fixed this issue--or do we know? jim

Purchased mine about 6 months ago and it's been operating continuously ever since as a tender. To date, no issues with the digital display. However, did have an issue with the auxillary tender connection on the side of the unit. It broke when I attached the plug. Was able to repair it with super glue as it sits in the unit held only with very flimsy plastic tabs... Other than that, it's worked flawlessly.

Haven't heard whether the factory addressed the problem. Mine still works fine, 'knock on wood'. I bought mine a year ago, knowing about the problem. I keep the backlight turned off in hopes that it preserves the life of the display. I've only used the charger maybe 10-12 times, however. I still don't recommend spending the xtra $$ on this unit because it did nothing to preserve my optima batteries. And it doesn't even have an engine start mode.

I have owned mine for about 1.5 years. No issues. I used it last year as a maintainer when I stored my car and kept it plugged up for 5 months straight. No issues.

I didn't have that problem but there was a glitch in mine which made my screen flicker. I believe that it's a manufacturing issue. If you can't get it to work, is send it back and ask for another one

Yes- the same thing just happened to us. We purchased this item two months ago and this morning found that the screen had a green scratchy tint. By the evening, we could view nothing. We've tried everything: changing outlets, resetting the base unit, changing out the batteries, turning off the wi-fi in the home in case of interference. Nothing worked! From what we can tell, it's a base unit issue, as the handheld is still capable of pulling up color without issue on the startup screen. Summer better be willing to make this right...For the $200 we paid, it's not worth it...

Sorry to hear you are having this issue. So the display is not working at all? No blue light? If so, there is definitely something wrong. I will send you a message to discuss replacement.

I saw on Sony forum that some of the buyers of the product, got those issues. The administrator of the forum, suggested to take it the repair.... So there's definetly something ronh with it.

No, mine works fine. They seem to have a great resolution team. Contact them and see what they can do.

The unit we have is bright and crisp. I am happy with the screen, so I'm thinking you may have a faulty screen.

I actually found this on another forum post and it makes me feel much better that at least samsung is recognizing the problem to some extent. I really hope this means they do have a fix for it otherwise why would they post pictures of the problem and say your TV needs service right?http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa/jsp/faqs/faqs_view.jsp?isARS=Y&SITE;_ID=1&AT;_ID=137885&ARS;_ID=8957980Just waiting to hear from someone that their TV was actually fixed. Thanks again,

I've had one for about two years. Sometimes I have connectivity problems, or what mostly seems to be software related issues on the transceiver end-I've mostly figured how to work around these. I've never had a bad or glitchy picture though.

Changing the capacitor solves many symptoms. Some people have said that the repair kit solved their issue with scrambled display, not sure if capacitors are your problem but it doesn't hurt to change it

The dvd player that I purchased does not have a digital display. I would not use the display if it had one. I think it indicates the amount of time the dvd has been playing. Who cares! When it comes to the end I put in another dvd.

I've been using this unit for my pcs & for over a year now & have no problems...... Have you tried it w/any other devices? Perhaps there may be something that has become defective witin the unit as well.....

We had the same problem after a month. I took it back and got a new one. I am hoping maybe we all got lemons, because I otherwise love this monitor.

Have you tried any older systems to see if they look okay/have lag?Anyway, thanks for the info! I may have to go for this, although I'm a bit nervous not being able to return it if there are dead pixels or whatever.

The digital display turns off to conserve battery I guess. But the unit itself does continue working on mine as long as it is not set in cable tv mode.
